MAINE FUNGI FEST HISTORY:
In 2021 the Maine Consciousness, Healing, and Living Medicine Project was founded by Jonathan Leavitt and Dustin Sulak, DO with the simple intention of expanding the discussion on psychedelics and consciousness here in Maine.
In 2022 came the first annual Maine Fungi Fest, where folks interested in "All Things Fungi, Plant Based Medicine, and Evolving Consciousness" could come together to learn, teach, inspire, network, and create around these themes.The first year was a one day event held at the Portland Expo Center.
In 2023 the event was expanded and relocated to the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland providing better accommodations for 2.5 days of workshops, speakers, demonstrations, meals, lodging, and creative exchanges.
